As a concerned pet parent of the past decades, I always
felt somewhat uneasy applying even the least amount of
off the shelf pesticides in or around my home. If this
stuff poisons the bugs, what else is it poisoning? This
question was always in the back of my mind and it took
a very serious turn when in 2007 my maternal uncle was
diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. My entire family,
including myself, could only ask one thing: Why? At the
time, my uncle was only in his early 50s and if one could
be the picture of heath, he was it. This guy does not
drink nor smoke and he is one of the rare people that
kept his weight down close to what it was in college.
He takes pride in taking care of himself. So why this
dreaded cancer? I immediately started researching for
causes of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The common thread? Pesticides!
You see, my uncle was the owner/operator of an exterminating
company in addition to his regular job. He exterminated
as a second job for many years while my aunt was a stay
at home mom with their two children. This was during the
years of Chlordane&reg;, Lindane&reg; and Dursban®...
all scary stuff. Fortunately, my uncle was treated at
one of the best cancer facilities in the country and the
cancer went into remission. It returned in 2009; he was
treated again at MD Anderson Cancer Center. I am happy
to report again that he is currently in remission.

When the dangers of pesticide use hit this close to home,
it's a call for action and I hope this true story will
spur you to stop using synthetic toxic pesticides in and
around YOUR home. Contact us at AlwaysEco for your

My family found out last week that my uncle's Non-Hodgkin's
Lymphoma has morphed into prostate cancer. The doctor
that is treating him for prostate cancer is now consulting
with his other oncologists on the best course of treatment;
my uncle has battled Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma not once -
but twice. As soon as we find out how this new cancer
will be treated, I will let you all know. Your thoughts
and prayers are appreciated.

Yesterday, my partner and I were at a client's home in
the South Austin area performing an Eco-Estate initial
service that includes interior and exterior decontamination
of previously sprayed synthetic pesticides. The client
asked me what could have caused my uncle's lymphoma
my answer - synthetic pesticides! The client said he believed
he was doing his part in keeping his family away from
dangerous pesticides by ridding his home of these poisons
by way of our pesticide decontamination service and utilizing
our always safe, always organic, no compromise, pest control.

Over the Christmas weekend, my family received the latest
news from my uncle regarding his recent diagnosis of prostate
cancer. This diagnosis is right on the heels of his two
bouts with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Due to these two battles, which involved large doses of
chemotherapy and radiation, his oncologists have decided
to treat the prostate cancer with hormones. His immune
system is simply much too compromised right now to attempt
anything else. For twelve days he will take medication
to reduce his testosterone level, and after the twelve
days, he will be given a large injection of estrogen.
Of course this will not really attack and fight this cancer,
but it will prevent the prostate cancer from growing.
hen his immune system is stronger, stronger measure will
be used against the latest cancer to attack his body.

Because of this,(please see the back story above) and
the large amounts of scientific research linking synthetic
pesticides to all types of cancer and other serious health
woes, it is my mission every day to get at least one person,
one family, away from toxic pesticides.
